It seems no matter where you go in summer you'll see frozen treat machines displayed in every store saying. "Hey! Buy me!". But if your anything like me you resist, because the last thing you want is another thing to store in the kitchen, and from past experience you know they never work well enough to put forth the effort over simply just buying the frozen treats. I'll let you in on a little ... [ read more... ]

Birthday Cake Batter Spoons
I know it's been a little too quiet around here this week, it's been one of those weeks for this baker. The kind where you want to just sit down with a bowl of chocolate frosting and let your thoughts drift into a sugar coma, you know what I'm talking about right? Thankfully I opted for a much less dramatic option instead, Birthday Cake Batter Spoons! Easy to make, easy to enjoy, easy to hide in ... [ read more... ]

Circus Animal Truffles
In this house we love Circus Animal Cookies, but not just any frosting covered animal cookies they have to be Mother's Circus Animal Cookies. I'm not sure if it's the yummy chocolate coated cookies, the cute combo of white and bright pink, the animals, or the sprinkles (who are we kidding, we know it's the sprinkles) but my kiddos are crazy about them. In fact I bought a bag of these three times ... [ read more... ]

How To Make Edible Image Cookies
I've learned a few things in the past week. Like if you're going to take a last minute trip across the country to a blogging conference, you should probably invest in lots of coffee and prepare to function on two or three hours of sleep for days on end, and look good while doing it! Also, it's not a good idea to tackle a project you've been wanting to do for a year at the very last minute. ... [ read more... ]

Root Beer Float Macarons
My girls recently discovered root beer. Yea, there's no going back now. Every time we vist a restaurant they beg for us to swap out their waters for root beer. They get really excited when they see root beer flavored candy in the store or when mommy makes these cookies. I can't blame them, root beer was a childhood favorite. I have ,any good memoirist hanging out after work as a teenager with a ... [ read more... ]

Birthday Cake Treats Round up!
Birthday cake, cake batter, funfetti, deliciousness covered in sprinkles, it doesn't even matter, I'll take one...no two please! It's true I have a slight obsession with this stuff guys.

Popping Up Daisies Cake
Last week I shared with you guys a fun new Daisy Cookie Bouquet, I had a blast making them. After all edible flowers are the best kind of flowers! But while I was photographing them I thought, man why didn't I stick these in a cake...or even made dirt pudding in the pot? I just new I had to try out one of them with some extra flowers and well, we were long over due for a little cake around here. ... [ read more... ]

Daisy Cookie Bouquet
It's true, April showers bring May flowers! Unless you live in the desert and you haven't seen rain but once in six months, then you bake some! Plus as I've 100 times...the only green thumb I have comes from food coloring. Fact. So even if we weren't currently living in the desert, growing them isn't quiet an option! So I'm not exactly a gardener but I do love to bake up fruits, veggies, and ... [ read more... ]
